Endangered Species Day

MAY 15, 2026
Join Us for Endangered Species Day at the Zoo!

Endangered Species Day is a time to reflect on the incredible variety of life on our planet and the urgent need to protect species at risk of extinction. At the Little Rock Zoo, we are proud to care for many endangered species and support conservation efforts to ensure the survival of these species.

Fun Fact: Freshwater ecosystems are now one of the most endangered habitats in the world as a result of human development, pollution, and climate change.
